Conservative Republican. Oh snap, politics!
Isn't that a tautology rather than an oxymoron, if we're going for jokes here?

My favourite is: Super Hobo!

Because seriously, kids, there is nothing super about living on the streets, every day being a gritty struggle for survival, with people spurning you outright, others commenting outwardly about your appearance. Children may kick you, stray dogs might attack you, and when you die, no one will care about it. You will simply be another nameless dead guy. The coroners will make light jokes about your corpse, and then you'll be cremated unceremoniously without any grievers surrounding you, with perhaps a dour priest administering rites. You will have wasted your entire life.

Ahem.

In this case Great is a reference to the size and impact. So it is not an oxymoron.
Well I say it's a reference to emotion. Now what'cha gonna do, huh!?

There is no real Conservative movement in the USA. The whole spectrum is Liberal, including the republicans.

They are conservative with a small 'c', though.

To the old standards already mentioned ("military intelligence"; "honest politician" etc.) I would add
Creationist Science
Professional Film Critic
and my personal favorite, the U.S. Department of Justice

My favorite was always "military intelligence", what is yours?
The military Intelligence
two words combined that can't make sense!

OT:
"you play guitar right"
"no I play BASS guitar"
(not sure if it's a true oxymoron)

That old classic, "Jumbo Shrimp."

I work as a meat-cutter/fishmonger and the two sizes of our cocktail shrimp are "Extra Jumbo" and "Super Colossal."

I'm sorry for the non-sequiter post, but your avatar is... mesmerizing. So many blob-like characters... so fast...

Well, I applaud you for such an excellent .gif avatar.

Large diet soda. I guess you gotta cut back somewhere, right? ;)

Necessary evil. If it's necessary, is it really evil?

Mine would be...humane.

A term derived for doing something with human qualities. Funny, considering humans are responsible for the genocide of entire species just to flex their dominance on the world.

And yet it means to do something with mercy. I don't think that being human is being merciful...so yeah, there's my favorite oxymoron, even though most people don't consider it one. :\

My favourite is "British Judicial System" considering the fact the British legal system is the worst on the planet resulting in more peados, murderers and rapists walking around with slapped wrists than is reasonable.
